Shopify Trademark Infringement Notice and Policy

Shopify supports the protection of intellectual property and asks our users to do the same. It is our policy to expeditiously respond to clear notices of alleged trademark infringement. Our response to such notices may include removing or disabling access to material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity and/or terminating the user’s account.

Please use the following form to report content on Shopify that you believe violates or infringes your trademark. If you are not sure if trademark laws protect the material, we suggest that you first contact a lawyer.
